In this talk, Ashley Holt exposes the $500 billion confidence industry that sells the illusion of confidence while ignoring the true foundation of success—self-worth.

Filmed live at the iconic Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, this talk was selected as 1 of only 15 speakers chosen to compete in the WILDX American Idol for Speakers Competition, presented by WILDX and USA Today.

This transformational event brought together some of the most influential voices in personal development, spirituality, media, and thought leadership.

Celebrity Judges Included:
• Richard Green – Media Personality & TEDx Expert
• Donnie Knipps – USA Today
• Michael Beckwith – Founder of Agape International Spiritual Center
• Hazel Ortega – Founder of High Tide Global Foundation
• Joanna McPherson – Master Coach for Thought Leaders

Hosted by powerhouse women:
• Rhonda Swan – Founder of WILDX, global branding leader, and host of the Rhonda Swan Show and the Wall Street Minute
• Jules Schroeder – Founder of Unconventional Life, Artist, Entrepreneur and International Voice of Change

Standing on the Saban Theatre stage—where icons, legends, and cultural voices have spoken—was an unforgettable moment of truth, vulnerability, and purpose.

“We Don’t Have a Confidence Problem — We Have a Self-Worth Crisis,” is a call to elevate the conversation from surface-level empowerment to deep-rooted identity transformation. This message is at the heart of my work and my upcoming book, She Means Business.

Amazon Prime release coming soon.

Here’s what you didn’t see:
Before stepping onto that Beverly Hills stage, I had already lived the realities behind my message. My lowest moments were never a confidence issue—they were symptoms of a deeper problem: a systemic self-worth crisis that affects women at every socioeconomic level.

Those experiences now shape my work: advocating for law reform, strengthening protections for women, and elevating national awareness around why self-worth education must become a standard in schools, workplaces, and culture at large.

This talk is not inspirational storytelling; it’s the foundation of a national conversation. “We Don’t Have a Confidence Problem. We Have a Self-Worth Crisis” reframes what’s truly at stake. Confidence culture is not solving the deeper issue. Self-worth is connected to nearly every major challenge affecting women and youth today—from leadership gaps and domestic-violence patterns to burnout, perfectionism, and the chronic pressure to “earn” our value. Research shows that self-worth deficits significantly contribute to the broader mental-health crisis impacting students nationwide.

Advocacy and National Relevance
Beyond the personal narrative, this message aligns with broader policy and systemic reform. My lived experience drives my work in national advocacy—championing self-worth literacy as a core competency that shapes safety, leadership, performance, and long-term well-being.

This talk is one piece of a much larger effort: elevating self-worth from a private struggle to a public priority, and ensuring that the systems influencing our lives—education, leadership, media, and legislation—reflect that shift.

In this episode of The She Means Business Show, Ashley Holt interviews Jill Schulman — U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Ivy League-trained positive psychology expert, and bestselling author of The Bravery Effect — for a deeply activating conversation on the neuroscience of courage and what it truly means to live brave.
Jill shares her extraordinary journey from stepping onto a Marine base at 18, terrified and underestimated, to becoming one of the top-performing officers by age 22 — and now leading Fortune 500 leaders through the science of psychological bravery.

What do you do when the unimaginable happens — not once, but twice?

In this episode of The She Means Business Show, Ashley Holt sits down with Tiffaney Childers — suicide loss survivor, speaker, and author of The Rise Back — a woman who has transformed personal tragedy into purpose and hope for countless others.

After losing both of her parents to suicide, followed by a life-altering chronic pain diagnosis after routine surgery, Tiffaney began a journey of rebuilding her identity from the ground up. Today, she serves as a LOSS Team advocate, responding on-site to suicide scenes to support loved ones in the first hour of unimaginable loss — becoming the safe space she once needed.

She is also the creator of the R.I.S.E. U.P. Method™, guiding survivors through the often-forgotten stage of healing that begins when the world moves on… but grief hasn’t.

This episode explores:

The reality of grief after the first year — when support fades

The moment everything changed — and how she began to rise back

Why silence and shame keep survivors suffering in secret

The R.I.S.E. U.P. Method™ — and how it’s helping people rebuild their soul

Her upcoming book release: The Rise Back (launching October 2025)

🕊 For anyone who has walked through grief — or loves someone who has — this conversation is a lifeline.
